Scaramouche was known to have a foul mouth that spat haughtily and eyes full of judgment. Now take someone like Y/n, and you'll have another sharp mouth, shrouded in mock submiss...

"I'm telling you, this is the sixty-ninth time I've introduced myself to you and I am getting TIRED OF THIS BULLSHIT!" Y/n screeched, about to hurl a ceramic cup at the man before her. Tighnari could only sigh as she chucked the cup at him. He smoothly caught it with one hand before glaring at the troublesome, whiny woman.
"I'd appreciate it if you didn't throw a cup at the one who saved you from mere fungi."
"AND I AM TIRED OF HEARING THAT SAME LINE FOR THE SIXTY-NINTH TIME!" Y/n threw another cup at the man who did no wrong. He caught it again swiftly.
Without teleport waypoints, she had to travel to Sumeru by riding Beidou's ship from Inazuma and then bribing merchant carts in Liyue, which took two weeks. She did not expect to be jumped by a humongous mushroom when she finally stumbled upon the Sumeru forests.
Coincidentally, Tighnari was there to clear a withering area when he found Y/n on the ground, tackled by a group of fungi. The sight was amusing seeing how she was spluttering curses while trying to summon icicles at the mobs. Luckily, he stepped in and saved her in the nick of time.
And so he brought her under his roof like he did for the Traveler, only to receive no gratitude at all. All he received were two cups thrown at his face.
"And I am tired of your whines. Spare us by shutting that mouth, won't you?" Tighnari proceeded to stuff a spoonful of Tahchin topped with Padisarah flowers in her mouth. She quietly chewed the sweet rice. In all the days she repeated, she had never refused the treat.
"Tch, you won't get me this easily next time..." She lost count of how many times she had said this, only to betray herself.
"Whatever you say," Tighnari mused. "Anyway, I did sense something eccentric going on and I didn't think much of it. But now that you mention it, it does feel like deja vu just seeing you here."
"Right?! I can only wait for the Traveler to fix this..."
"You know the Traveler?" Tighnari's ear twitched at the sheer mention.
"Yeah! We are besties, no cap!" Y/n grinned and snatched another spoon of Tahchin. "Who cooked this by the way? It tastes amazing!"
"I did..." Tighnari's cheeks flushed a bit at the compliment. "The seasoning is good, right? I used some of my herbs for the flavor."
"This screams malewife," Y/n whispered to herself. Tighnari's sensitive ears caught it but decided not to respond. He then returns to the topic of the Traveler.
